As the golden rays of dawn paint the sky tomorrow, India i.e., Bharat—one of the oldest civilisations in the world with a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural heritage—will celebrate the 75th anniversary of its Constitution and nation’s transformation into a sovereign republic.

The Republic Day commemorates the adoption of the Constitution of India on January 26, 1950. While India gained Independence from colonial rule in 1947, it wasn't until January 26, 1950, that the Constitution of India came into effect. After this, India became a sovereign state, declaring it a Republic.

The Republic Day symbolises the collective dreams and aspirations of billions of hearts beating for a better, more inclusive future. It is not only a day of great pride and honour for Indians all across the globe but reminds us of the democratic values and Constitutional principles which serve as the guiding document for the nation.

“Constitution is not a mere legal document; it is a vehicle of life, and its spirit is always the spirit of the age,” said Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Indian Constitution.

It not only commemorates the constitutional journey of India as a Republic but also celebrates the values of democracy and unity in diversity. It also celebrates the nation’s commitment to democratic ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity and reaffirms its commitment to the values enshrined in the Indian Constitution.

On this occasion of Republic Day here are some quotes and wishes:
